The bat-guano crazy peeps don't worry me so much with gun ownership.

It is a problem, but not the main one. The number of gun deaths to these
incidents, while splashy in the media, and painful to the survivors, is just
not that big a societal deal, imho.

No more so than a crazy person driving full speed through a crowd on campus,
or using farming fertilizer and fuel to bring down a building.

The gun deaths that bother me much more are the casual shootings at train
stations in Boston, or the tro boyfriends outside a woman's work. Because,
without a gun, these punks would be less likely to attack, and with a knife
or something, much less likely to kill.
